    We have high expectations for velocity.

    These haven't been chrono'ed yet, but the 11.5" should be similar to a normal 12.5".


    Larger 5/8-24 threads are stronger and better, especially when suppressors are involved.

    Any 30 cal suppressor will work and quite a few 5.56 QD suppressors have 5/8-24 mounts available for them.

    The 5/8-24 SilencerCo ASR Mount works with the Specwar 556, Specwar 556K, Saker 556, Saker 556K.

    The 5/8-24 AAC 51T mount works with the M4-2000, 556-SD and Mini-4.

    The 5/8-24 Griffin Taper mount works with the Reece 5 and Optimus Micro w/ optional taper mount interface.

    Is the weight of the barrel with the gas block?

    The 11.5" Barrel is 24.5oz with gas block.

    I just ordered one. Thanks, for the info. Probably should have had you pin it on there.

    They'll both cycle great with identical EXT gas system configurations.

    The MPR is 3.5 ounces lighter and will handle extremes better due to the material and finish.

    The SPR is thicker at the chamber, however so there shouldn't be much real world concern with cold temps.

    It's hard to go wrong; they're both really great choices.

    That thing's a monster!

    I bet it suppresses well.

    My buddy, for whom I built a BRT Optimum 16" gen-1 centered gun, loved it!

    Forged upper and lower, BRT EXT Optimum barrel and MicroPin BRT gas block, ALG rounded top handguard (the exact model escapes me; it was mlok, lol), PWS H2 Buffer, Sprinco Blue action spring, std nitride carrier with Sprinco 5-coil extractor spring, and Precision Armament AFAB 556 (current generation). PA ACSS 3x prism fakeCog on top.

    With full power federal Brown box M193, the first thing my buddy blurted out (in that barely controlled, childlike fashion) was "this damn thing kicks less than my 10/22!!!!" with a fairly dumb grin on his face. Things devolved from there.... including grown men giggling.

    It basically just vibrates in your hand. With .223 pressure AE Ammo it feels like it's short stroking, but ejection is strong @ 3:30-4:00 and it locks back on empty even with no shoulder purchase. Brass collects in a bucket if you don't move.

    No way to get an SR15 experience in a quality package (that will fu&$€#%ing run with reliability) for less. I've shot several SR15's (and have a deep love and respect for them that borders on fanboyism). But this is knocking on that door for much less.

    Maybe I missed it, but only SBR barrels have 5/8-24 threads?


    Will a 556 SOCOM fit on a 762 SOCOM mount?

    I don't believe so. I've read that Surefire designed it so a 7.62 can will fit on a 5.56 mount, but not vice versa.

    The "default" thread is 5/8-24, except for light barrels with .625 gas blocks and specials like the 14.0" Mid that are designed for a specific set of muzzle devices.
